Not quite what you are looking for but it’s funny so I’ll tell you anyway. I was having lunch with a friend and her housemate, we talked for about an hour then the housemate said “I think you are very intelligent”, when I asked her why, she simply said “because you look like Sheldon(from Big Bang Theory)” ---

From about age 17 to 30, I was told I looked like “My Three Sons” Robby Douglas (I was 20 in 1970). I heard it a lot, because it was true. Even I could see the resemblance. Now that I’m in my 60’s, I look more like Tramp. . ---

My uncle Rick looks exactly like George Lucas, even down to the hair. If you put him in a situation where people would expect George Lucas to show up, people would call him Mr. Lucas. I think even George’s close family members would be fooled briefly, or until they talked to him. I just Googled “George Lucas” and saw, essentially, a bunch of pics of my uncle dressed up nice. My late cousin looked exactly like a 25-year-younger version of his father, and thus, a young George Lucas. I don’t think I look like anyone famous, and have never been told I do. ---

In the late 90s, I was once told I looked like Jennifer Connelly. About a year and a half ago, I was told that I look like Allison Bree (from Community/Mad Men). I can sort of see the resemblance, because we have similar hair and both have big eyes. But that’s about it. ---

When I was younger, people said I looked like Jackson Brown. (It was the haircut). Now I look like Alfred Neuman. ---

I’ve been told I resemble both Liev Schreiber and Will Farrell…which is odd, because those two look _nothing_ alike. And briefly I was told I looked like Morgan Spurlock (the Supersize Me guy,) but that was pretty much only because I sported a “walrus 'stach” for a short period of time, and my facial hair is red. ---

I’ve been told I look like Melanie Griffith and Meg Ryan…unfortunately, I’ve also been told I look like MaCaulay Culkin. ---

I was mistaken once for John Daly, when he was on the cover of _Sports Illustrated_ one week, by some old golf fan. ---

When I was younger I got Meryl Streep a lot. In my dreams I think I look like Demi Moore. ---

Years ago I had a pony tail down to my waist and an equally long goatee. The nonstop ZZ Top references made me shave. (that and the food in the goatee thing) In Jamaica I constantly had people telling me I looked like “that American actor”. Never figured it out. ---

I’ve heard Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon, and Dave Foley (yes, he’s a guy, and no, I’m not, and yes, I admit that I do bear some resemblance to him). Oh, and Sharon Stone, but I’m sure it was only because I had super-short hair. Personally, I see a lot of similarity to Patricia Arquette, but no one else has ever said so. ---

I sometimes get Kevin Smith, but only because I’m a bigger guy with a dark beard and a sometimes similar fashion sense. ---

A decade ago no fewer than a half dozen different people told me I looked exactly like Nick Lachey. I didn’t even know who he was. In the past couple years, I’ve had 2 people tell me I look like “a young” Roger Clemens and 2 people tell me I look like Steve Zahn. So, I guess I’m somewhere in there. ---

I’ve been told that I look quite a bit like Jonathan Frakes. It may be because I grew a beard between seasons one and two, or it may be because I gained 15 pounds between seasons one and two. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/celebrity-look-alikes/608243.md?page=2)
